CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Ugh, my fear of heights is strong enough to make me nauseous looking at those bridge pictures! I try not to look down or sideways when crossing a bridge. Thankfully I don't drive (fear of speed, among other things).
Then there's fear of crowds (and three is a crowd, in my book!), fear of humans in general and kids in particular.
I'm also claustrophobic. I fear fire, fireworks, loud noise, cars, telephones (not as objects, but I do have a pretty strong fear of making phonecalls), computers (I am using one right now but it's new and it's hating me already and the feeling is mutual), I think these are my main phobias. In general I'm a fearful person. I'm not afraid of animals.

My sister has a problem with bridges, especially high bridges. We went over the Mackinac Bridge between Upper and Lower Michigan one year on a family trip (a five-mile stretch), and she spent the whole way across on the floor of the car with her eyes closed.
I have crossed that bridge 100 times or more and I never minded it until this past September - there was a crazy-strong windstorm and you could see it moving as you drove up it. The speed limit was reduced to 25 and trucks and vans needed an escort to cross. I white knuckled it, prayed my guts out while reminding mysel that it was okay, if it couldn't bend it would break, etc. I was surprised nobody had a panic attack and had to turn around 1/4 of the way through - I was pretty close to it.
....and I HATE flying. I'd like to learn to fly myself, but I don't trust trained pilots or commercial aircraft. Yes, I know it's stupid.

Biggest fear ever:
Job loss = no money = no mortgage payments = homeless
= loss of health insurance = cannot pay medication = severe sickness/death
More fearful than any goblin, spider or clown in my opinion
